no pics from the race yet, but I managed to get Nick to pose for one whilst we enjoyed our first post-race drink (I am blinking rather than actually asleep)  | Click to see full-size image. |

Great result. Never mind the time, you'll beat that when you do your next half when it's not as hot and you're preparation's better.
Be honest, you're sort of looking forward to the marathon a bit more now, aren't you?

actually I've just realised I didn't correct you on the 'next half' thing. I said a few weeks ago that after Berlin I'm just gonna stick to 10ks. Pretty sure I'll be back up in Sheffield this time next year though....

You'll be running more halves. In fact you'll be doing one before Berlin.

Should be looking at a half marathon race as part of your marathon training plan. Not compulsory of course, but useful.

hmm yeah - actually I probably will when the time comes to cover 13 miles in my training. more fun than just running on my own and I'll get another medal |

It also gives you a chance to prepare for a race before the actual marathon. You can fine-tune your routine such as what to eat the night before, on the morning of the race, what to wear, if you can stomach the isotonic drinks during a race, etc.

fml - I don't know why it didn't occur to me before, but we're going to have to do an awful lot of long runs in the middle of summer aren't we? I'm not entirely sure how I'm going to manage them all without the water stations etc!

Yeah, it was one of the reasons I wasn't uber keen on Berlin. Should hopefully be okay in September, but going to be some hot days on the way.
If you go out early, then you get the cooler weather, so it might not be too bad.
